minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 hours agoNope! Information can only travel at the speed of light. During my undergraduate CERN did this experiment (a decade ago now). And they had the shocking result of the second wave function collapsed faster than c. That was until a clock was found to be loosley connected and caused a timing error, that would account for the slower than c speed.
